🕊 THE POEM THAT ENDS A WAR
(Lyrics Only – Ballad for Unity and Heart Awakening)
[Verse 1]
Put down your gun,
Your hands are shaking—mine are too.
But not from fear,
It’s love breaking through.
We forgot how soft we are,
Underneath the armor scars.
But I see you now,
I remember who we are.
[Pre-Chorus]
Your son is my son,
Under the same blind stars.
We bleed the same sun,
No matter how far.
[Chorus]
So lay it down, love—
Lay it down with me.
Not in surrender,
But in unity.
Let the earth take back
What we no longer need.
Let the children grow
Where we once couldn’t breathe.
We are not enemies—
We are one broken heart
Trying to remember
Where peace can start.
[Verse 2]
I wore a flag,
You wore a name.
But deeper down,
We are the same.
I have a mother who sings to the sky,
You have a brother who dreams when he cries.
The war forgot us—
But we can still rise.
[Bridge] (builds gently, full of yearning)
We are stardust on borrowed ground,
Fighting shadows with sacred sound.
Let the leaders weep, let the silence fall,
Let the echo of love
Outshine it all.
[Chorus]
So lay it down, love—
Lay it down with me.
Not in defeat,
But in dignity.
Let the trees grow wild
Through the steel we forged.
Let our hearts be shields
That need no swords.
We are not enemies—
We are one shared soul
Calling each other
Back into whole.
[Outro] (soft, mantra-like)
Let this be the last fight.
Let this be the last flame.
Let this be the last night
We forget each other’s names.
Let this be the last war,
The last, the last, the last…
Let love be the future.
Let the past be the past.
